Chapter Twenty-Seven—One to Forty
The rooster's crowing heralded the dawn of a new day, and it was not until the dawn of the day that the light of the day filled the world, illuminating all the darkness of the world, and now the clouds that swirled around the earth did not disperse. At the same time, the dawn descended on the southernmost coastal city of Qi. The sun shines brightly on the sparkling, endless sea. The sunlight that passed like a streamer of Momo was broken, and the glow was imprinted on the stone walls of the city and looked extremely beautiful and moving.
If you look at the castle from afar, you will find that the entire city is hazy, like a beautiful scene like a fairyland in poetry. Countless sparkling water ripples and the reflection of the sunlight poured down on the southern wall of the castle. It is also used to inform the people of the entire city that a new day is coming on the entire Demon Spirit Continent.
The first to open in the city was nothing else, it was the "game road" between the two residential areas in the south of the city. Just when the dawn has not completely descended on the city of Huicheng, this "Yidao" has already begun to be lively. Because the recruitment of new students of the Qi Royal Academy has recently been held in Huicheng, which is still a relatively large project, many owners who have held profit-making activities in this "Yidao" have already begun to plan to make a lot of money on this project. Therefore, they don't mind opening early and continue to collect the money invested by the people.
"Everyone, line up slowly, everyone has a share" At the door of the largest gambling house in this Yidao, a middle-aged fat man dressed in gold and silver stood at the gate, shouting loudly to the people who were standing in a steady line at the door of their gambling house. The voice was filled with incomparable joy and feigned calmness. In fact, he wished that more people would come to him to bet. Even if it was only half an hour's effort, the odds of Gao Hanyue, Feng Yuchong and another little boy who participated in this Qi Royal Academy recruitment activity have been raised to forty to one. Looking at this situation, the fat man in a golden robe and silver earrings in his ears was already smiling from ear to ear.
The castle is reached by a stone bridge over the creek and a bluestone road between the residential areas on both sides. At this moment, the sun has completely bloomed its own brilliance on the earth, and now, a young man in a light blue shirt who does not look very conspicuous on the outside is passing through this small stone bridge to the outside of this "Yi Road".
The young man in the light blue shirt looked only about ten years old, but there was already a mature gaze in his eyes that was somewhat inappropriate for his age. He walked across the small stone bridge as if he was carrying something in his arms. Standing under the plaque that reads "Yidao", I silently thought about something.
"Well, this is it, I can go in and see what the situation is like now, let's talk about it," the young man in a light blue shirt secretly encouraged himself and walked into this "Yi Road".
The young man in a light blue shirt walked into this "Yi Road" with arrows, and did not attract the attention of many people. After all, this young man in a light blue shirt did not stand out from the rest, and it was also because he was too young. No one noticed that there was such a young man in a light blue shirt walking along the road.
However, when the young man in the light blue shirt quietly walked to the door of the largest gambling house in this "Yi Road", he saw the middle-aged fat man in a golden satin and gorgeous robe at the door of the largest gambling house. The corners of the young man's mouth in a light blue shirt suddenly appeared with a comfortable smile.
The young man in the light blue shirt relied on his relatively small figure, and he was stunned to be spared from the crowd of people. Directly to the middle-aged fat man wearing a golden satin robe and silver earlobes hanging from his ears. puffed up his voice and shouted to the fat man: "I also want to play the shopkeeper"
"Oh?" the young man in the light blue shirt caught the attention of the middle-aged fat man in the golden satin robe with silver earlobes in his ears, and he looked at the young man in the light blue shirt at his feet with amusement. Somewhat funny, he mentioned a sentence to the young man in the light blue shirt, "Little brother, do you have to bet on the three of them not to pass the first round, now there is only this odds, which is slightly larger than other game conditions, which is already very good."
In fact, originally, this middle-aged fat shopkeeper wearing a golden satin robe and silver earlobes on his ears wanted to dispel the little boy's careful thoughts with such a sentence. But who knows, this middle-aged fat man wearing a golden satin robe and silver earlobes in his ears miscalculated, this young man who appeared in front of him inexplicably not only behaved outstandingly, but also broke the earth with a word.
"No, the shopkeeper, I want to bet on the three of them to be able to pass the first round, if two of them are over, it is a loss of thirty, and three people have passed, which is a loss of forty, how about this is twenty-five taels of silver, if I win, it is a thousand taels"
As soon as the young man in the light blue shirt said this, he was immediately shocked. The middle-aged fat shopkeeper wearing a golden satin robe and silver earlobes on his ears looked at the young man even more dumbfounded. I didn't know how to speak for a while, and the people who were trying to drive this young man out stayed in place. Half a minute later, including the middle-aged fat shopkeeper in a golden satin robe with silver earlobes on his ears, and all the people covered their mouths and laughed sneeringly.
"Little brother, don't think about it, you know that these twenty-five taels of silver are precious silver issued by the previous emperor, although the value is the same now, but you are sure you have to do it" The middle-aged fat man in a golden satin robe and silver earlobes on his ears The shopkeeper also wanted to persuade the young man, although he was greedy for money, but he would not reach that kind of situation where he saw money. He saw that this young man was dressed plainly, and what he shot was this kind of relatively precious silver that was sold in the era of the previous emperor of their Qi country, which was obviously treasured by the family for a long time, and this time he took it out like this, even the middle-aged fat shopkeeper wearing a golden satin robe and silver earlobes on his ears was a little unbearable.
However, the persuasion of the middle-aged fat shopkeeper, who was wearing a golden satin robe and silver earlobes on his ears, had no effect on the young man in front of him. He secretly touched a folding fan in his arms, plucked up his courage and said, "That's right, I'm going to play this game, it's challenging."
As soon as the young man said this, the other people had nothing to say, so they could only cover their mouths and snicker, laughing at the young man for losing all the coins they had worked so hard to save in their family. Moreover, like ordinary people, they are generally just gambling for one or two taels of silver. Like this kind of teenager who can give up almost all the income of a family for more than a year in one breath, these people will naturally slaughter him fiercely before they give up.
Even the fat shopkeeper no longer persuaded the young man. He led the boy into their gambling house and asked him to write down his name for his records. The boy wrote down his address and name on a piece of paper, and then turned away satisfied. When he left, the middle-aged fat man shopkeeper could still see a hint of confidence flashing on the young man's face. This made the middle-aged fat shopkeeper feel a little strange. But he didn't go on to ask in detail, to tell the truth, who wouldn't want the silver they earned for nothing?
The eyes of the middle-aged shopkeeper dressed in gold and silver inadvertently caught a glimpse of a name signed in a different place on the registration paper, three bright and beautiful golden characters, "Feng Yuchong"
"Sister Yue, I have succeeded, now we just need to work hard to enter the next round, so that the odds of the next round will be better, so that when the time comes, we can not only ensure ourselves, but also help Shanshan, Sister Ying'er" At noon, a fiery figure appeared at the door of the Yuelai Inn, and this figure rushed into the inn like stepping on the wind, and went directly to the second floor of the inn. Pushing open a door and rushing in, he was still muttering something along the way.
"Don't be in such a hurry, don't be careful," came out of the room, a girl in a white dress, whose voice was a little pleasant. Even the young man who rushed in didn't know if the girl in front of him cared about him or didn't like his behavior. Anyway, though, the boy's face had become very cheerful.
